Beer

How many glasses can you really sell from a keg?

Keg yield depends on litres, pour size, foam loss and line waste. A 30 L keg rarely gives 30 L of sellable beer.

Guide

Practical benchmark

With 8% waste, a 30 L keg gives about 27.6 L. At 400 ml per glass, that is roughly 69 sellable serves.

Guide

Use with draft beer cost

Once you know real yield, divide keg cost by sellable serves to price each glass with a sustainable margin.
